  1. Even ESPN’s website is confused as fuck
  2. I had no doubt y’all were going to make the bigger splash in Year 1 of SEC transition…but damn, dominating Bluey in the Big House vs struggling at home vs Houston = save some castoff SEC pussy for the rest of us, because failing-upwards-to-victory against Arky today just isn’t enough.
  3. Ok so he likes service members that don’t get captured, calls those who died ‘losers/suckers’, insulted those who “earned” our nation’s highest recognition of valor, and now poses for a thumbs-up photo op in front of a dead trooper’s grave at our nation’s most hallowed ground? I will never understand how anyone even remotely connected to the military could support that guy. Anytime I’m in DC, I have to visit and catch a guard change. They’ve unfailingly guarded those remains for decades, from ice to hurricanes to blistering summers, walking so precisely the marble is worn by their footsteps. In the army, you have a better shot at going from boot to passing RASP (Ranger) to passing the Q course (special forces) to eventually getting selected for Delta than you do getting to wear an Honor Guard badge. Once again, dude somehow manages to denigrate people who have a drive that I’ll never be able to fully fathom from the outside…drive to give their lives to save their buddies or to serve a ceremonial role where you don’t even wear rank, silently suffering in the elements to honor others. /soapbox
  4. That’s an insult to Marines
  5. Well I can’t read the comments because I refuse to support a right wing billionaire troll…so I’ll assume that their statue of Mojo Jojo offends you somehow and the comments are full of manufactured outrage, bots peddling manufactured outrage, and a breathtaking circle jerk of fear and loathing. And you calling anything or anyone goofy, even in jest, is rich
  6. Trump, guns, religion…these people would have all been lining up outside Jonestown in the 70’s.
  7. 9mm? GTA taught me that any bullets landing within 100’ of a sentry at a military base would bring down automatic rifles, machine gun fire from HMMWV, mini guns and rockets from Blackhawks and eventually an Abrams or two.
  8. He…he said…what, hang on…there is no wa…what the fuuuuck? - Homercles, 16 August, year of our lord 2024 How the FUCK do you denigrate, in such a dismissive way, those who earned our nation’s highest honor for valor in combat? An ‘award’ for circumstances that are often so intense, so traumatizing, that the ‘winner’ is either deceased from an incredibly selfless sacrifice or racked by Survivors Guilt such that they disappear from the public eye. I see someone with a CIB/CAB/CMB and it tears at my heart they had to do it ‘for real’ (yes I understand plenty of 11x folks earned EIBs under marginal circumstances and 18’s probably laugh about it). Someone, alive, with an MOH is likely changed forever from a few short minutes of dire circumstances that I can’t fathom while posting to Surly from my comfy bed. I could keep rambling, but even as a sheltered officer’s kid who never made the leap to serve…I cannot even begin to fathom how words like that come out of someone’s mouth, let alone from someone who supposedly was the CiC just a few years ago. That excuse for a ‘man’ can’t die fast enough.
  9. MAGA is ready for genital inspection
  10. Some of y’all mofos need to watch Hunt For Red October again
  11. Me in March, when my wife was gone for two weeks to Portugal with her cousin.
  12. So you’re saying somewhere between ABL and a bona-fide colored lady? Do you know what a colored lady is? Not your moms, fo show. Cause if they was that, y’all woulda known better than that bullshit. (Sorry man, inspired to work in one of my favorite moments in a show chock full of em)
  13. Can it automatically format pimphand posts into comic sans and change chainsaw’s periods into tiny versions of this?
  14. The whole military thing pisses me off to the core, especially to enlisted. Soldiers, airmen and sailors get put into a position of need all the time before they get a chance to check all the required boxes. And I’m not strictly taking battlefield promotions or commissions. Some of those positions have a required rank that goes along with it. Are they going to start calling out 3 and 4 star generals? On paper most them are supposed to revert to Brigadier/Major Generals upon leaving the office that brings the extra stars with it. Fuck all the way off with things you don’t understand, especially to an enlisted man with over 20 years.
  15. “He’s probably about the same as Bernie sanders. He’s probably more so than Bernie sanders. He IS more so than Bernie Sanders.” “Wants this country to go communist immediately, if not sooner”.
  16. I thought TTom was banished to the shadow realm or some shit
  17. Dialog-driven shows don’t bother me…hell my all time favorite is The Wire and love shows like Shrinking. But damn this show needs a Tyrion, a Bronn, a Bunk or even a Paulie Walnuts…someone with serious business and integral to the plot, but serving as comic relief that you root for.
